When Mother Nature Is Caught Making A “Mistake”
December 29, 2020
In the rapture of life and of living, I lift up my head and rejoice, And I thank the great Giver for giving The soul of my gladness a voice. In the glow of the glorious weather, In the sweet-scented, sensuous air, My burdens seem light as a feather They are nothing to bear.
In the strength and the glory of power, In the pride and the pleasure of wealth(For who dares dispute me my dower Of talents and youth-time and health?), I can laugh at the world and its sages I am greater than seers who are sad, For he is most wise in all ages Who knows how to be glad.
I lift up my eyes to Apollo, The god of the beautiful days, And my spirit soars off like a swallow, And is lost in the light of its rays. Are tou troubled and sad? I beseech you Come out of the shadows of strife Come out in the sun while I teach you The secret of life.
Come out of the world – come above it Up over its crosses and graves, Though the green earth is fair and I love it, We must love it as masters, not slaves. Come up where the dust never rises But only the perfume of flowers And your life shall be glad with surprises Of beautiful hours. Come up where the rare golden wine is Apollo distills in my sight, And your life shall be happy as mine is, And as full of delight.

The Art of Sushi
Sushi may appear to the untrained eye to be just a little ball of rice with a piece of raw fish on top, but there is much more skill involved in producing sushi than first appears. Sushi is regarded as a real art form in Japanese culture since both its beauty and flavor are significant. Sushi needs to be the proper hue, taste, and texture. And as many people have discovered after seeing movies like Jiro Dreams of Sushi, mastering the art of creating sushi can take years or even decades.

Generally, we take it for granted that the world around us looks pretty much the same all the time. The trees are green, the sky is blue, and the dirt is brown. However, once we take a closer look, it turns out that even Mother Nature “messes up” every once in a while, and produces something that totally deviates from the norm. Here are some of the times that nature slipped up and the results were incredible.

Clearly, Mother Nature had just a little too much fun on St Patrick’s day and decided that one rainbow was not enough. So this is the result. It’s pretty crazy to even see one rainbow in the sky, so you can just imagine how people reacted to this unusual sight of 8 rainbows in the sky. Definitely Instagram worthy, that’s for sure.
